Chelsea will make a fresh approach for Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana at the end of the season. The Blues are looking for an ideal replacement for Kepa Arizabalaga. The former Athletic Bilbao shot stopper arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2018 in a world record deal for goalkeepers.

The Spanish international enjoyed a fine debut season under Mauricio Sarri. But he has failed to convince this season. He has the lowest save percentage among goalkeepers in the league. His poor run of form has seen him dropped to the bench. He was dropped for a run of six games before making his comeback in the FA Cup.

He was given the chance to redeem his battered image against Liverpool in the FA Cup. A match the Blues won 2-0. Willy Caballero has been chosen ahead of the most expensive goalkeeper in the world.
According to reports, Lampard has asked the Blues officials to look for a reputable shot stopper last December. The 41-year-old manager has lost patience with Kepa following a number of high-profile mistakes in recent performances.

The Lilywhites have also made their intentions known about the player. But the player has made Chelsea his preference. Chelsea have a good relationship with Ajax. The Blues announced Hakim Ziyech in February and the Moroccan international is due to join Chelsea from July 1st.
